Ordinance 2000-14 2. Compensation For Holidays Not Worked. If not required to work on paid holidays, afull- time employee shall be entitled to receive pay at his regular rate of compensation on such holiday on which he has not worked provided, however, that if any employee without just cause (as determined by the head of his department) fails to report to work on a regularly scheduled work day immediately preceding or immediately following such holiday, he shall not be entitled to compensation for the holiday not worked. If an employee's work schedule is other than Monday through Friday, he shall be entitled to a day's regular pay for a holiday observed on his day off, regardless of the day of the week on which it is observed. 3. Compensation For Holidays Worked. If a full-time employee works on one of the above- designated holidays, he shall be compensated at the rate of one and one-half.(1-1/2) times his hourly rate for each hour worked and shall be given compensatory time off equal to the number of hours worked, with such compensatory time off to be first approved by the department head. (For example: A Class B Dispatcher earning $11.72 per hour is required to work an 8-hour shift on Christmas Day. She would be compensated at the rate of $17.58 per hour for the 8-hour shift and would also be entitled to 8 hours compensatory time.) Part-time employees who are required to on a full-day holiday will be compensated at one and one-half (1 1/z) their normal rate of pay for hours worked on the holiday. 4. Compensation for Holiday During Vacation. If a full-time employee is on vacation during one of the above-designated holidays, that day shall be considered a holiday day off and shall not be counted or compensated as a vacation day. 5. All full time employees of the Police and Fire Departments who work the majority of a shift on a holiday shall be compensated for the entire shift in accordance with the holiday pay provisions set forth hereinabove. H. Sick Leave All permanent full-time employees shall be entitled for each complete eighty (80) hours of service to sick leave of four and six-tenths (4-6/10) hours with pay, except in the Fire Department where they shall earn fifteen (15) sick leave tours (1 tour = 24 hours) per year. However, in no case shall the amount of sick leave earned exceed one hundred-twenty hours per year for forty (40) hour employees or one hundred sixty-eight (168) hours for full-time firefighters hired after January 1, 2000. Employees may use sick leave with the approval of their department heads for absence due to illness, injury, exposure to contagious disease and illness in the immediate family. The head of each department shall require their respective employees to furnish a written signed certificate to justify the use of any sick leave taken. At the discretion of the department head, or anytime an absence due to illness exceeds three (3) days, or three (3) tours in the case of fire fighters, a statement certifying the nature of the illness from a licensed physician shall be required to justify the use of sick leave. Falsification of either a written statement or a physician's certificate shall be grounds for disciplinary action including dismissal. No sick leave may be granted upon or after retirement or termination of employment. 2000-2002 Wage Ordinance: 2000-14 Page 18 of 25
